wanted my kids to experience a cruise so ended up going on NCL breakaway. From our embarkation to our disembarkation our experience in that aspect was great. We had fun on our first day at the sailaway. My girls had fun dancing although it was a bit nippy on our first day. My kids were on their own for once without me having to supervise them or without them gettting lost. They participated ...
We chose this cruise for a new itinerary. This is not our first time on the Breakaway.
Fewer waiters in bars. Less activities such as expert lectures. Less musical choice, too many DJ sessions.
Shambolic disembarkation.
The cruise ship had a lot of facilities closed until 4 or 5pm each day giving little choice when wandering around ship.
The entertainment was only 50% ok. The "rock of ...
My wife and I love cruising and we cruise a lot. We like the princess line but they don't leave from New Orleans, so we had to settle on NCL. The good news is, the ship is beautiful, there are things to do everywhere and the food is great, but everything goes down from there. We got an extra-cost balcony mini-suite. It had a nice size bathroom but the rest of the room was so tiny we had to turn ...
This cruise was chosen because it left from New Orleans and I had never been to that city and thought it was a good opportunity to visit the city before going on the cruise. I think that because there were so many young adults, teenagers and children on board, that it made the ship seem very crowded. There seemed to always be a problem finding seating in the common areas such as the pool ...
My wife and I had been wanting to try Norwegian so we booked this cruise for over my birthday. Found out my granddaughter was on spring break so we included my daughter, son in law and the grandkids in the cruise as well.
Embarkation was great, no issue on the boat in about 20 minutes. We've had really good experiences sailing out of New Orleans.
Dependent upon your preferences I could see ...
We had a wonderful experience with Norwegian in Hawaii and wanted to sail with them again.
The walk off time was greater than 90 minutes. Only two people were scanning the ship card to exit the ship.
The excursion to Chenchii Itza did not give us even 15 minutes to shop because the Capt was late arriving at the port.
We had to WALK to the excursion van and also walk back, very ...
I chose this because it was leaving out of New Orleans, a spot I wanted to visit as well. The itinerary sounded fine for a sunshine Mexican getaway.
Embarcation was a snap, disembarkation at the end a little frazzled but not bad. I had the one-person single studio which worked great for me and I'm large. Stateroom service was excellent like I experienced everywhere on the ship.
Very nice ...
We are normally easy going, easy to please travelers. This was our first cruise in 16 years, the previous ones being with close friends, so we didn't really know what to expect. We took the NCL Breakaway from New Orleans for 7 nights with stops in Cozumel, Harvest Caye, and Costa Maya.
The port: We drove from Indiana to new Orleans. Access to the port is a bit convoluted, and it seems like ...
Took this cruise with a group of girlfriends that have been close since High School (6 of us). We arrived in New Orleans a day and a half earlier to walk the streets so we could learn the history, view the beautiful old buildings and enjoy the wonderful Cajun and Creole food.
We were so excited to get to the port to board the NCL Breakaway but were very joyfully surprised with the way the ...
There are too many people on this ship. It's a very large boat but the public areas are not much bigger than boats with much less people. That means you are unlikely to find an empty chair anywhere -- not by the pool, not at "spice h2o", not in the atrium, not in a restaurant, at the casino, in a bar, etc... We spent too much of our time in our cabin because it's the only place we could find a ...
